US Scott#27 F-VF 1857 5c Jefferson, brilliant brick red, light cancel, no faults. Great looking stamp with classic brick red color. Much better than usual centering. W/very light, face-free cancel. Member American Philatelic Society & U. I’m happy to say that my stamp business has continued to grow in recent years. Many new items have been added and new items are. Being added all the time. I examine all stamps myself. If you aren’t sure about the identification of any stamp, let me know, and I will provide additional information. Please contact me first. I have recently acquired a number of more high-end collections and will be offering some great stamps here. Here’s what you need to do if you want to get a cert: >> Contact me within 14 days of receiving your stamp that you plan to get a cert. I will give you the extra time needed to complete that activity. I accept certs only from the PF (Philatelic Foundation) or the PSE (Professional Stamp Experts). You must return both the stamp and the cert to me. It is important that you contact me before you send the stamp out. No return will be accepted after 14 days unless you have notified me of your intent to certify the stamp within that time period even if the cert comes back negative. No extension for previously certified stamps. About my scans with the light. Background: I changed from using black Vario pages to transparent pages. Are 1200dpi showing more detail and better color. Other than straightening and cropping, the scans have not been altered in any way.
